Abstract: Abstract It may seem strange, in a volume dedicated to Bolognese mathematicians, to come across a paper about an initiative that, as is well-known, has its roots in Pavia, namely, the Enciclopedia delle Matematiche Elementari. Yet the mathematical community of Bologna was in fact involved in this editorial enterprise and several of its authors, including E. Bortolotti, A. Comessatti, S. Pincherle, F. Sibirani, B. Segre and G. Vitali, together with its conceiver R. Bonola and one of its directors G. Vivanti, were either from Bologna or had links with the University there. In the present paper, after summarising the volume’s somewhat turbulent publication history, we will focus on the involvement of Bolognese mathematicians and, in particular, on the scientific dialogue which took place between L. Berzolari, G. Vivanti and G. Vitali regarding the coordination of Enciclopedia chapters on analysis.
